main.lua refuse to run

[DjPoke]

Hi,

I've just ordered Ultra Engine on Steam yersterday, and I try to make my first game with it.

I've made my own map, replacing start map.

I've configured VSCode, but when I run default main.lua with the debugger, this is what happens :

- The debugger starts, and stops after 1 or 2 seconds.

- The main window does not open.

- No error messages.

If I add print("hello") at the beginning of my code, "hello" is never shown in the console.

I've tested to run main.lua within VSCode and without opening Ultra Engine, I've got error messages about missing dll's.

 

Any idea of what it is ?

The capitalized Print function is an Ultra Engine command. The lower-case print function is a built-in Lua command that is more limited and does not seem to appear in the VSCode console.

You must install the Lua debugger extension by DevCat:

I tried creating a new Lua project with Ultra Engine on Steam and it worked as expected. The easiest way to open the project folder is to double-click the "Open in VSCode" bat file in your project folder.

If you still have problems I will make a video walking through the steps so you can see exactly what I did.
